The siblings went inside, but they were still in too much of a shock. A moment later, they saw the
swimming pool in the yard. “T-There’s a swimming pool?” Minerva gasped. “Oh my god, is that a real
pool?”
Helen closed the gates and smiled. “Yeah, this is the outdoor pool. It’s always great to take a dip when
the weather’s sunny. Swimming’s the best kind of sport, you know. This is my favorite place to swim.”
The Campbell siblings were already numb from the non-stop surprises, but the pool still shocked them
nonetheless. A mansion with a pool is rare even in foreign countries. Only the richest of the rich can
afford it!
They came into the mansion, dazed. Even though the interior decorations were lavish, they were already
numb to it. After seeing the pool outside, they could accept everything in the mansion, no matter how
extravagant it was. In fact, they’d be surprised if the decor wasn’t lavish. I mean, they’re super rich.
Chloe and Jonah were sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking as shocked as their children were.
“I-Is this your home, Helen?”
Sasha quickly answered, “Yes, but to be precise, it’s my husband’s. My husband got involved with some
investment projects and earned a few hundred million. The partners pooled their money and bought this
mansion for him.” She didn’t want to show off, but she was already at her limit that night. How dare you
mock Matthew. Oh, you think he’s a loser, eh? Well, I’ll show you who’s the real loser.
Chloe was shaken to her core. “What? This mansion belongs to your husband?”
She quickly looked at Helen, and Helen gave her an awkward smile. “Yes, this mansion belongs to
Matthew, but he wants us to live with him, so he took us in. And he even gave us the whole place, or he
would have, until we stopped him.”
Chloe couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “H-He’s involved in investment projects? What kind of
project is that?”
Demi scoffed. “Investment project my foot. He only made money because he’s lucky. If he somehow lost
the bet, he would have been dead by now.”
Upon hearing that, Sasha shot her a nasty look. “Well, look who’s talking. If it weren’t for Matthew, you
would have been dead a hundred times over by now.”
“What did you say?” Demi growled.
“The truth, that’s what it is,” Sasha shot back. “If it weren’t for Matthew, you guys would have been
kidnapped and killed. Don’t tell me you forgot all about that. Matthew’s ears are still stitched, you know.”
Demi was infuriated, but she couldn’t say anything to that, so she turned her head away. Sasha sneered,
deciding to go on the offense tonight. I’m not letting anyone insult Matthew anymore.
Then, Jonah started giving a lecture. “Luck is important when it comes to investments. Don’t get too
greedy, young man. You might have gotten lucky this time, but you might not be as lucky the next.”
Helen nodded. “Yeah, Matthew. Jonah has been investing for many years overseas, and even he loses
money sometimes.”
“Take it slow, young man. You can’t afford to lose now, or you’ll be paying a heavy price. One false step,
and you’ll be mired in bankruptcy. I’m sure you don’t want your family to suffer with you, right?”
Matthew simply nodded in response. “Thanks for the tip.”
Jonah scoffed. He thought the Cunninghams only got rich thanks to a stroke of luck from Matthew’s
successful investment. But this isn’t a secure life, because there’s no way that kid can get lucky every
time.
Because of his prejudice, Jonah was looking down on the Cunninghams even more. He wasn’t envious
of their affluence, because he never liked opportunists, and Matthew was a prime example of that.
